Pipework, insulation and structural junctions may become inaccessible after finishing. Plan checks before closing walls, floors or ceilings.
Decide this before construction
Link each order date to the phase needing the component. Before a disruptive transition, check that materials, decisions and temporary facilities are actually available.
Identify concealed items
Focus on parts important for performance, maintenance and the agreed result. The aim is useful checks rather than a large unstructured photo collection.
How to review the result
Do not close a phase only on paper. Check whether the space is usable again and which outstanding items affect the next phase or everyday family life.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep agreements and changes by phase, using consistent room names. Later questions about concealed work and outstanding items remain traceable.
Questions for your own property
- What will become hidden?
- Who checks it and when?
- Can photograph locations be identified?
